I did this on ICS stock 4.0.3 :
Open your contact list
Press menu
Choose Export to storage
A file "example.vcf" will be on the root of your SD card
E mail it to yourself

Nandroid restore breaks gmail sync?

Has anyone done a nandroid restore on their ns4g? I did it yesterday and a known functional backup had all kinds of problems with gmail sync -- couldn't send gmail from phone, messages deleted on phone weren't being deleted on server, unread count was off. Had to wipe user data and use titanium to restore apps and data.
Anyway wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if its an issue with cwm on our devices.
Btw was using the stock rooted rom and stock kernel.

Usually for that you just have to go to Menu >Manage apps > Gmail > Clear data. For next time.

Contacts should be stored on the gmail account. If not then do that first.
To backup apps use a program called backup program and restore. Does not require root.
Also apps do backup on the Google account as well.

You have two options use Gmail and backup with that or from nandroid and use an app like appextractor. If using Gmail go to settings on your phone and go to backup and restore and use your Gmail account.

Copy contacts to Nokia E63?

Does anyone know how I can copy all my contacts from SGR (running Vanilla 4.2.1 if that helps) to Symbian running on Nokia E63?
I've tried many methods (listed below) but no result
1) "export to SD card" as a .vcf file, transfer this file to my Nokia and "import" --> FAIL
2) In Kies, open the above .vcf file, save as another .vcf file and repeat 2nd half of step-1 --> FAIL
3) In Kies, open the .vcf file in #1, save as a .csv file and try to "import" this .csv into Nokia --> FAIL

Buddy nokia saves all contacs one by one. But in android it saves in 1 file. Try to save contacts one by one. Or download any application for the same.

Did you save your contacts to your Google account or your local account? If you have used Google account then your contacts will be synced automatically
